Questions about Hurwitz.

Today's post is an OPINION. Thank you.

G'day Everyone.

There are two polls at the side of my blog. So before you vote, read the link below:
This article appeared being splashed across the Rochester news papers on Sunday, Dec 13, 2009:

Another source nearly asks the same identical questions as Democrat and Chronicle did:

Now these are two polls are open till December 31, 2009 midnight.
First question is: Did the 3 previous candidates have a chance for the Gallaudet University President position? Why did I post that question? Quote: " In fact, Gallaudet's offer sent his life into turmoil this past summer. He hadn't applied for the presidency, intending to finish his career at NTID. But Gallaudet wouldn't take no for an answer." : unquote. (Note: when they say Gallaudet, it's in reference to the GU Board of Trustees and PSAC). Thus, was the process unfair then to the other 3 candidates? Possible. But let's hear it for the poll later.

Second question asks of where should Hurwitz put his focus since he wants to remain in the Rochester area.

So like I said in the moments after the selection was announced last October,
http://thedeafsherlock.blogspot.com/2009/10/questions-arise-in-selection-of-hurwitz.html
I knew there would be questions. The greatest question is: Does Hurwitz wants to move to DC or remain in Rochester? He has to make a choice. He can't have it all. I hope he will make an intelligent decision to do what's best for himself and for Gallaudet. As I said before, he is the better man for NTID than Gallaudet.

Enjoy the polls.

Semper FI.

I grew up knowing Alan Hurwitz. I do like him. He is better off with NTID than Gallaudet. I wanted Roz Rosen to lead Gallaudet.

It appeared the system was tainted already due to the fact they begged Alan to lead. It shows somewhat bias. I could be wrong? They asked him 3 times... it gave indication of being tainted.

It fell on deaf ears! Pardon the pun!

Keep it up!

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,
I agree. The entire process wasn't fair at all and it was clear that PSAC and GU BOTS wanted one person: Alan Hurwitz. The 3 candidates were just for show. If Alan Hurwitz wasn't interested in this job at all, then being forced to be called to "National Duty" for the deaf community is a shame.
